Bill and Carol Rock of 301 W. Paradise St. told the Orrville City Council on Sept. 3 that “speeding traffic is terrible at McGill and Paradise” and that there are no speed signs on that street.
The council discussion following public comment noted that stop signs are not permitted to be used as speed-control devices and that speed radar signs could be placed on the street; a traffic study would be required to install a stop sign for that purpose. The meeting record states police have conducted directed patrols in the area and made approximately 24–30 traffic stops.
Council did not record any formal directive or vote to install radar signs at the meeting; enforcement and engineering options were discussed and will require follow-up by staff. Residents concerned about traffic in the area may request further action through the city’s public-works or police departments.
